Back to School

Tomorrow is Frank’s first day in first grade. I’ve had many telephone conversations with friends who are soooo anxious for their kids to go back to school. I am not among them. I am filled with regret about all we didn’t do this summer. I didn’t schedule my time wisely, I spent too much time working and not enough time playing, days went by too quickly and so did weeks. My children are growing up too fast and I’m not spending enough time playing with them.

Frank somehow didn’t get placed on a soccer team. I’m looking at this as an omen. He is meant to be a tennis player, not a soccer player. After school we’ll do one day of tennis lessons and one day of swim lessons instead of two days of soccer practice. Saturdays will be spent playing as a family rather than watching him play soccer.
